Chapter 1015 Lingji's Greed

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel had such terrible power that it sent the Dragon Demon King flying hundreds of miles away.

"Haha, Brother Jiao, don't be so stubborn. I just want to borrow a few fruits. I'm sorry for offending you today. Let's drink together later and I'll apologize to you."

The Jiao Demon King propped himself up and said in a cold tone: "You monkey, today I will let you see the magic weapon in my hand."

As the palm was spread out, a silver needle emitting a sharp aura slowly grew larger and soon turned into a cone.

Sun Wukong felt a headache after just one look.

This artifact was of course lent to the Dragon Demon King by Xiao Zhen. Although its level was only one step away from the top-grade immortal weapon, it was not as good as the golden cudgel in the hands of Monkey King.

But this magic weapon is a relatively rare soul-attack weapon, specifically used to attack other people's souls.

If an ordinary Golden Immortal is hit by this magic weapon, his soul will be severely damaged at best, and shattered at worst. It can be said to be extremely vicious.

Although Sun Wukong's body is strong, he also has many shortcomings, such as being restrained by the Yellow Wind Monster's wind and sand magic.

Similarly, the soul is also Monkey King’s weak point, and the Soul-Destroying Needle is prepared to deal with him.

The Jiao Demon King laughed with a mocking tone and said, "Monkey, if you can stay safe under my magic weapon, you can take the elixir in the medicine garden. I will never stop you!"

As magic power was injected into the Soul-Destroying Needle, it was obviously ready to go.

Sun Wukong felt a chill in his heart and flew backwards instinctively.

The sound of breaking air could be heard from behind; after all, the Somersault Cloud was not as fast as the Soul-Destroying Needle.

Sun Wukong felt a pain in his soul, his consciousness began to blur, and the whole monkey fell from the sky.

Xiao Zhen in the Heavenly Palace was ready to wait for the westward-bound team to go to heaven for help. He would then pretend to pass by and go down to take back his magic weapon. He would also give the longevity fruit to Xuanzang's incarnation to help him complete Master Wang's mission.

As a result, the person that the Journey to the West team asked for help from heaven was not seen, but it was the incarnation of Xuanzang who brought the news.

It turned out that after the monkey was seriously injured, he was rescued by Lingji Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

The latter expressed his willingness to help the westward team suppress the rampant Jiao Demon King.

Although Lingji Bodhisattva's cultivation is only at the peak of the early Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he does not seem to be much stronger than the monkey.

But this guy has been practicing for a long time and has a solid foundation, so he probably won’t have the same spiritual shortcomings as the monkey.

Therefore, as long as you are prepared, it will be no problem to defeat the Dragon Demon King even if it means suffering a little trauma to the soul.

Xiao Zhen's real body descended to the mortal world at the fastest speed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The guys in the Buddhist sect have always been shameless. They always say that this treasure is destined to be with me. Could they be trying to plot against him this time?

When they arrived not far from the pilgrims' team, Xiao Zhen secretly communicated with Lingji through voice transmission.

"Buddha, what do you mean?"

While talking to Xuanzang, Lingji Bodhisattva also responded to Xiao Zhen.

"Master, I am worried. I just saw that the Jiao Demon King has a connection with my Buddha, so I want him to join my Buddhist sect. I have absolutely no intention of targeting you!"

Upon hearing this shameless reply, Xiao Zhen sneered and continued to ask, "Then let me guess, does the Bodhisattva want to take my flying needle magic weapon into his arms as well?"

"Amitabha, the fake accounts during the riot in Heaven must have made a lot of money for the True Lord, right?"

Xiao Zhen snorted coldly and never communicated with this Buddhist guy again.

What does the account book from that year have to do with him?

Everyone in Heaven knows that Master Miaodan has always been fair and honest, and would never withhold the elixir salaries of other immortals without reason.

However, the biggest problem now is whether Lingji's behavior this time was a personal one, or the entire Buddhist community was doomed.

Xiao Zhen found Guanyin, who was the person in charge of the journey to the West, and directly exposed Lingji's evil plan.

Guanyin initially pretended to know nothing, but later she verbally reprimanded Lingji.

In fact, she also knew that Lingji must have set his eyes on the flying needle-shaped magic weapon. As for the Jiao Demon King who was in the late Golden Immortal stage, he was actually second.

The materials used for that soul-destroying needle are all top-notch, and it is also a rare soul attack type.

If I take it back and temper and nurture it for a thousand years, it may be possible to upgrade this magic weapon to a top-grade immortal weapon.

Not to mention that Lingji Bodhisattva was tempted, even she wanted to snatch it away.

However, in order for the Journey to the West to be successfully completed, Guanyin finally appeared and persuaded Lingji Bodhisattva to calm his greed.

As for the false accounts of Heaven, Buddhism has decided not to pursue it. At least before Buddhism flourishes, this matter should not be mentioned again in order to avoid damaging the harmony between Buddhism and Heaven.

At the last moment when the Dragon Demon King was defeated, Xiao Zhen appeared in time and stated that he was the owner of the medicine garden.

Just like this, the disaster ended successfully, but things would not end there. Xiao Zhen told his colleagues in Heaven about what he had encountered and warned everyone to be careful of the evil hands of Buddhism.

After Lingji Bodhisattva was summoned back to Lingshan by the Buddha, it is said that he was severely scolded.

The Journey to the West team then encountered the Nine-Headed Insect. Needless to say, this guy had an irreconcilable feud with a dragon in the team.

Even more, the Nine-Headed Insect sent a fish demon with low cultivation level to kill them. This was obviously a humiliation!

There was no need to seek reinforcements from heaven. The nine-headed insect was captured by just a few fellow disciples. After Xuanzang comforted the little white dragon, he killed it with the nine-toothed rake.

In the blink of an eye, the eighty-one difficulties have been completed, and now most of them have passed.

What troubles Buddhists the most is that the Westward Journey team is too ruthless, and often the owners have no time to rescue their pets.

In the end, of course, Buddhism will have to pay for all the bills.

Whenever the Tathagata Buddha in the Great Leiyin Temple heard about a monster being killed, he would silently chant "Amitabha".

Guanyin has been going to the Buddhist treasure house quite often during this period. Every time the pet owners ask for compensation, she can only give a little blood of Buddhism as compensation.

However, accidents always come very suddenly. When Xuanzang and others passed by a village, Sun Wukong sensed something unusual in the village.

"Everyone be careful, I smell a different smell ahead."

Zhu Bajie also clenched the nine-toothed rake in his hand and asked in a low voice: "Big Brother, have you spotted any monsters ahead?"

Xuanzang, who was riding on the white dragon horse, was also surprised. Could it be another difficulty in the Journey to the West?

Of course, it could also be a monster with insufficient cultivation who wanted to eat a bite of Qin Monk's flesh.

If it really is this kind of stuff, it can't even cause a disaster. At most, it can be seen whether it suits everyone's taste and whether it can be added to everyone's meal.

At this moment in the village ahead, several villagers who were dressed simply had a arrogance on their faces that was different from their attire.

"That's strange, is that really Tang Seng and his group?"

"There's an extra black bear, an old monk, and a little brat."

"We have just landed here. Let's see if we can get some useful information from Tang Seng and his men. If there is a chance... kill them!"

"Okay, hide first. Remember, our main targets are Sun Wukong and Tang Monk. They are the key to this great calamity in the Journey to the West."
